Job Description:

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking authentic personalities who are aspiring, confident, and committed to becoming great lawyers. We value individuals eager to learn alongside top professionals, bringing energy and passion to our team and clients.

Eligible applicants include second-year law students and above, or final-year non-law students with a 2.1 (predicted or obtained).

Training Contract

Our training includes rotations across practice groups such as Corporate & Commercial and Finance & Projects, within our offices. The two-year contract involves four six-month seats, providing tailored training and real-world legal experience supported by our expert team.

Route to Qualification

With the introduction of the SQE, we offer flexible routes to qualification: the traditional training contract and the graduate solicitor apprenticeship (GSA). Successful applicants must choose one route. Details are provided in the attached document.

Both routes are available to current students, graduates, and those completing or who have completed the PGDL/law conversion course. If you have completed or are studying the LPC/SQE, you will follow the traditional route.

Other Information

We accept only one application per intake year and for one location. If you applied for our 2024 Placement Scheme or 2026 Training Contract, you are not eligible for the 2026 Training Contract. Applications open from Monday, 1st April 2024, and close on Wednesday, 31st July 2024.
